What is a bigger story

Ok so I keep seeing on facebook and twitter how people are complaining that Whitney Houston death is a bigger story than American Soldiers giving up their lives for their country. I can see why Whitneys death is a big thing she is one of the greatest singers of our time. Should this really be a huge story though. Soldiers that die for their country nobody even knows their names but they are dying for such a bigger cause. Its kind of sad to think that we don't hear about it really, but when this celebrity who has been dealing with drug addiction dies the  entire world is in an uproar. This is kind of a sad world that we live in that people care more about celebrities than the people that protect us and help us sleep at night knowing that we don't have to worry about a bomb being dropped on our house. I am just wondering what everyone thoughts are on this.

Advertising Class post

So what did everyone think about the commercials? I personally thought they were decent this year. Not as good as past years but they were pretty funny. My favorite commercial was the E-Trade one where the baby was talking to a new dad about the benefits of E-Trade. Then at the end of the commercial he sees his friend and is like what are you doing here and the baby said speed dating. I just that was so hilarious. I think that all of those E-Trade commercials were easy the baby is hilarious in all of them. I think that they do a great job in explaining what the company is and what they do. What does everyone else think? Let  me know.
